Passage Summary: The author suggests that since computers can do the math, engineering students don't need to learn the theory behind it anymore and should study other things instead.

Conclusion: Engineering programs should reduce the time spent teaching fundamental mathematical principles to make room for other subjects.

Reasoning: Because computer programs can now solve complex engineering math problems, it is no longer necessary for engineers to understand the underlying principles themselves.

Analysis: The argument relies on the assumption that being able to use a tool (the software) removes the need to understand the mechanics behind what the tool is doing. To weaken this, we should look for a reason why an engineer still needs that 'old school' math knowledge. For instance, if an engineer can't spot a software error without understanding the principles, or if they need the principles to set up the problems correctly, the author's recommendation falls apart. Look for an answer that demonstrates a practical necessity for theoretical knowledge.
